Between filling up at the gas station and getting back to the rental dock the gas gage had gone from full to 3/4. The kid checking me in called up to his manager who told him they said they could charge me (extra inflated marina prices for 1/4 of the tank) or I could fill it myself back at the gas dock. So I went back, spending almost 45 minutes to "fill" for less than two gallons of gas. I will never rent from them again.

A special shoutout to Tegan, who went above and beyond to help me out. She was super friendly, patient, and supportive throughout the rental process. She explained everything clearly, made sure I felt comfortable, and had such a positive attitude that really set the tone for the day. The service was excellent, the equipment was in great condition, and the whole experience felt professional yet welcoming. If you're looking to rent a jet ski or any watercraft in Chelan, I definitely recommend Shoreline -- and if you get the chance, ask for Tegan. She was awesome!

This was our first jet ski experience for the 4 of us. Our…read morereservation was at 5-6, our first guide (sorry for not remembering your name but you were great!) who helped set us up for a fun time. The hour went by super fast and was definitely worth trying out for 320ish after refueling and for 2 jet skis. It definitely could be a 5 star experience but given the time to return our rentals, this is where it fell short of the experience. We were informed that we'd just pull up and someone would help us which wasn't the case. It was pretty crowded and they redirected us back out in the water which was fine. We noticed another jet skiier pulled in after the boats and other jet skis cleared out so we followed up too. There wasn't much direction into what we should have done after, so we pulled back into the loading bay and waited around for instructions from one of the team members. We weren't really sure who were team members as they were just watching us and not stepping in to help. We waited 5 mins without anyone letting us know next steps so we headed back to the waiver signing window where she mentioned we needed the fuel payment form. Went back to the dock and they told us we had to wait until someone could fill up our rentals, which ended up taking an extra 45 minutes. TLDR: If you're looking to try jet skiing for the first time I highly recommend it, this place definitely sets you up for a great experience but some organization improvements when returning rentals could definitely make it 5 stars.

With wife's asthma and a-fib, pretty sure her cardiologist would advise against 4+ hours on the lake in a n on-air conditioned boat. Called Sunday to check on changing to a day later in the week, and was told they were booked solid. I then request ed a refund, expecting a cancellation penalty (which I was OK with. Told nope, but they would put a credit on our account. We're both in our mid 70s, and the chances of driving over 300 miles just for a boat trip are slim to none. I'm sure with a week totally booked that they managed to find another paying customer to take our place on Monday. So thanks to this greedy company who would rather we placed my wife's health and life in jeprady than issue us even a partial refund.

We did the Lady of the Lake for a one day round trip. We went to Stehekin…read more I am so glad we found this gem. Expensive but we enjoyed it so much. I, specially enjoyed the off season crowed. Our boat and our bus tour in Stehekin was not full at all. In fact, many of the people on the boat were actual residents of the area. We had an outstanding time! Our bus tour was excellent. We walked to the falls and then stopped at the bakery. Yes, it was closed for the season but the bakery owners left some of the pastries out for anyone to stop by and purchase what was left. In our drive we saw a momma deer with her 2 fawns. Then we stopped to see the salmon fishing up the river - what a treat! We want to come back and stay overnight. The customer service was great on the boat and at Stehekin. I wish i could afford living here haha It is one of this places that i did not want to write a review because i want to keep it a secret.

I recently traveled to Stehekin via Lady of the Lake (and back to Chelan) and while I'm very…read moregrateful for the existence and convenience of this ferry service - especially in such a remote and beautiful location - I have to say the overall experience left much to be desired. First, the positives: The staff I interacted with were friendly, and the actual ride to Stehekin was extremely comfortable and offered absolutely stunning views of Lake Chelan. It's a truly unique experience to be ferried deep into the North Cascades and Lady of the Lake provides an essential service for hikers and visitors heading to remote destinations like Stehekin. However, my experience was unfortunately impacted by poor communication and inconsistent service. Less than 24 hours before our departure, I received an email stating that there was a mechanical issue with the Lady Express and that a different vessel might be used. The message asked passengers to arrive 30 minutes early to help accommodate everyone, which we did. However, there was not a clear explanation of what the replacement vessel would be or how it would differ. Most notably, it was only once I boarded the boat that I learned I was on the four hour ferry, not the 2.5 hour express ferry I had originally booked and paid for. The significant time difference was not mentioned in the email nor was there any reference to compensation or a refund for the downgraded experience. What's worse, when I reached out for follow-up or clarification - twice - I never received a response. I understand mechanical issues arise but the lack of accountability and customer service is extremely disappointing and continues to leave a bad taste in what could have otherwise been a beautiful and seamless journey. The ferry back from Stehekin to Chelan was on the express vessel, but it was overcrowded and uncomfortably warm. It appeared they were attempting to accommodate passengers who had booked express service on a different vessel, leading to what felt like an over capacity situation. I know Lady of the Lake plays an important role in the region, and I sincerely hope the company improves its communication, reliability, and responsiveness - especially when plans change or services are altered. The unexpected change in arrival time significantly impacted my plans in Stehekin and I would have made different choices had that information been communicated clearly the day before. All in all, visitors deserve timely, transparent communication, particularly in a place as remote and special as Chelan and Stehekin.

I will say this .... chelan does not have a lot of people of color. You might see 1 or 2 other black families when traveling there. Tons of Hispanics thought With that said I have NEVER in all 12 years felt uncomfortable in chelan nor has our 30 + group of us that travel there. So I will say this ... the boat ride was the first time we ever felt uncomfortable. The back of the boat was taken over by a large patriotic group that I'm assuming must do that every year. Us other People sat on the opposite side of the boat. And you can definitely feel the divide in the groups. I also feel like the people possibly owners working the food stand inside were not very friendly or welcoming either. I'm still debating if I would recommend this or not? Only time I ever felt uncomfortable in Chelan. So I don't know. Try it out maybe you will have a different experience but I definitely don't want to put our Mixed (Black & White) kids in an environment like that again on a boat.
